Short Summary

  • My name is Nathan Barnatt. Been on Youtube since 2005. Filming videos since the 90's in high school. I've made 2 short films, one won "Best Short Film". This will be my 3rd short. I've acted on TV for 20+ years. I've sold many shows/projects to TV networks.
  • This Dad film will help me get the character and world out to the mainstream world. I will pitch it to my connections at TV networks as well as submit it to film festivals.
  • Dad is the most supported/talked about series I have done online. The Dad audience will help me bring the IP to a bigger platform.

What We Need & What You Get

  • We need $50,000 to complete this short film. The money will go to building sets, studio rental, crew pay, equipment rental, FX, practical FX, actor pay, meals, wardrobe etc.
  • Donors will get video updates on the production and behind the scenes. There will also be exclusive posters and VHS tape copies of the film.
  • If we do not reach the goal the funds will still go toward getting it made somehow.

The Impact

  • The ONLY way this film can get made is if YOU donate.
  • I have successfully crowdsourced two other short films with $50k budgets.
  • This film will be my first horror short. Something my audience has asked for for a long time. 

Risks & Challenges

  • I've been filming most of my life. This is the only thing I do. There is no way this film will not get made.
  • There is no obstacle that will prevent me from completing this project. 

Other Ways You Can Help

  • Tell you friends and family or anyone you know who likes sci fi / horror.
  • Share this fundraiser anywhere you can!

Thank you SO SO much!
